been running since 1.0.0..

1.0.2 as of right now has given me 3 days of time between charges (about 2.5 hours of screen on time, 2 hours of calls and regular autosync) and i still have 18% left on battery... this is PHENOMENAL

today something strange is going on, it's done this twice today just sitting on the desk doing nothing, rebooted itself... no harm done, no FC's or anything that i've noticed since i usually shutdown the phone after making any major changes like an old windows computer, but i just look up and see the bootscreen..

I've also noticed since flashing 1.0.2 that my Time Without Service stays at around 50-60% even though this has only been a problem previously when i flashed an AOSP lock screen, but i'm running straight 1.0.2 haven't even done a battery icon mod, i've tried to set airplane mode to fix that to no avail.. Any ideas?

EDIT: and i have been keeping up with the thread daily, and have noticed the people having FC issues today, but i'm not having FC's just the two random reboots... possibly since i always reboot it myself to make things 'stick'.. maybe it's related though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
I use AOSP lockscreen and have 0% tws. When my phone boots up after charging, I press *#INFO*1111#, then go to phone information, go down and turn off the radio, change the prefered network type to cdma auto, then turn the radio back on. I used to have around 30% tws, and have 0% now. I have been doing this about 3 weeks.

I really can't wait for 1.1 with an option for journaling... my phone just hit me with a random reboot and I wound up having to start over. 3rd time since last week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
I'm still on EB13 running 1.0.2 untill SFR 1.1.0 comes out. Cant wait :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
So you will have journaling. You will also still have "random reboots". Figure out why it crashes and then journaling becomes unnecessary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
So is there anywhere we could "beta test" or get our hands on the experimental version of SyndicateROM Frozen based on EC05 that k0nane mentioned?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tirregius:
Last night had the phone reboot from idle with a previously stable setup while running @ 100/1000 mhz ondemand preset. Running juice defender. All other services from ROM. No need to restore, luckily. Was again stable upon restart.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
been using since yesterday and its been working great! although, I do miss the stock alarm app and the stock notepad. any chance I can get those?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Random Reboots won't be such a bother with Journaling on, since they won't cause corruption.

If I install the twilight zone 1.0.1 kernel, do I have to recalibrate?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WyldOne91:
oh alrighty, thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
This is also true, and can be simpler. We are going to evaluate our adblocking methods in the future, and may opt to simply include Adfree Android - with hosts preinstalled. Ultimately, I'd like it to be part of a larger toolbox... but more on that later.

If your battery life has been good so far, no.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
I have yet another question (this is my first custom ROM flash). For the stockapp add-on, do we have to flash the entire thing, or can we simply delete apk's that we don't want in the zip? The only ones I'm really wanting back is the thinkoffice and allShare app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
No, no it's not.

Thanks, I've got my Words With Friends back!

I have yet to test the BT Voice Dialing, but if that works then this ROM will have finally given me 100% of what I wanted out of my Epic. Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Joeway124:
my battery seems to display incorrect % after i rebooted, i had 52% then once rebooted it said i was at 13% and seemed to be stuck at this level for the past hour.

aside from that, everythings great, good job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] darrinbc:
I can't get this one to go away.

Before I loaded this rom last night I wiped everything at least 3 times and formatted the sd card, Then I odin'd to Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6. I installed nothing else and got that working and put the SyndicateROM zip onto the sd card. Ithen 3 fingered it to set up ext4. Then I wiped everything 3 more times, rebooted back into CWM and installed the most current version of this rom as of 1:30am EST 03/02/11.

So, I think I started as cleanly as possible. If I did anything wrong there please let me know.

My problem is that I have had this same old bluetooth issue with Pandora and phone calls that I have had on anything since I installed EB13.

What happens is that I listen to Pandora all day at work on my bluetooth headset and get a LOT of calls. Everything will work great for the first few hours. I can take and make calls with no issues. Then a call will start to get distorted and it goes to crap from there. After the first call with minimal distortion everything will still work and go back to Pandora after the call. I may get one more call to work properly, but then any further bluetooth calls will be garbled beyond understandability and Pandora may or may not come back after the call is ended. Often I have to turn off everything bluetooth and take the call on the handset. Once I turn off bluetooth, I sometimes have a hell of a time getting the phone and the headset to talk to each other again.

Then though, once I get everything back up and running, it starts the cycle over. I never have to cycle the phone, but I end up doing this little game about 3 times a day and that sucks a LOT.

To me, who is obviously speaking out of my ass on this, I have it in my head that this might be a caching issue with Pandora while it is sitting there waiting for me while I am on the phone? It just sounds to me like something is filling up something somewhere that only has so much capacity and shutting it all down and clearing it out is the only way to fix it.

Dunno, but it would be awesome not to have to run an older stock rom to do the one thing that I really got used to loving. Any help woudl be more appreciated than you might understand.

Also, I don't really have much of anything installed yet because I wanted to make sure this worked before I went through all of that again.

Thanks again for this awesome rom. It's by far the best that I have used in EB13 so far. WAY better than anything else I have tried.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jhdreamer:
Best epic rom hands down.

Question:

Does anyone know how we can set headset controls to handle music controls instead of going to dialer? This is the only downer so far but it's kinda a big deal for me actually.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You can delete as much or as little as you like.

It tends to be easy, but major system conversions sometimes trip up on the odd device or two. Some people are unfortunately unlucky.

Thank you for your support! Other users have reported BT voice dialing is working perfectly. :)

Did you reboot again since? If you have issues, try a calibration run.

Very odd issue - I can't test properly, because I don't have A2DP-compatible equipment on hand. Bluetooth, however, has always been a bit wonky on our device... I would suspect the problem either lies with Pandora or the Bluetooth stack as implemented in EB13. We'll look into it as best we can - but I suggest you post in the EB13 bug list thread if you haven't already. Other users may have available workaround - and who knows, maybe mkasick will produce another magic patch. :)

In the meantime, search the forums for EpicBT. That app may help clear up some of your problems. It's designed to fight Bluetooth failure when the 3.5mm cable is connected, but because of the way it operates, it might be enough to give your problem a swift kick in the pants.

Thanks for your support! On headset controls, I don't have a control to test with. If any of our testers do, they will look into it. Check the Market and other sources for an app that would control that, in the meantime.

Perfectly fine to uninstall it, it shouldn't touch the hosts file already installed.

I just found a super nasty bug. I tried to run the wireless tether included in the Rom and it rebooted my phone and then I got a series of fc's from gapps to my gingerbread keyboard, acore and even swype!

Is the 1.0.1 kernel just 1.0 with the setcpu fix posted earlier or was there more incorporated? Also, I've read that one user was able to get 30+ hours. Was that with kernel overclocked at 1200mhz? yeah i know YMMV but was curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
MojoSwag - musclehead84 is correct. That issue is usually a sign of a bad flash or old data.

Krazyflipj, just the SetCPU fix - and the 100mhz step is working. :) Team lead rjmjr69 got 30 hours heavy use with 1.2ghz and the stock battery. I'm seeing similar battery live.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Reflash - Mine works prefectly and I had to wipe 3x before switching roms. I also downloaded the fully loaded ROM.

Nop, gotta be patient and wait just like everyone else. The ACS dudes keep saying "soon" though, so I'm assuming it will be released anytime now, hopefully :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Thanks for the info, when i choose CDMA (auto), it automatically sets itself to back to WCDMA after i turn the radio off/on, which is what it starts at, the TWS is now lingering around 15%, showing 5 bars out of 6 for signal .. truly strange. i feel like it's a random issue and it doesn't really seem to affect the battery life... i've read on another thread about this issue just can't seem to find it now or whether it's even relevant..

EDIT, i'm dumb, was real easy to find: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999986 dunno how this applies to EC05 since i haven't come up to that bridge yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Just because there is a new release coming it has nothing to do with random reboots. Meaning a new version won't magically stop them.

I'm using 1.0.2 & not once has my phone rebooted, nor have I had any fc's. Its working flawlessly.

So for those with reboots, something is corrupt somewhere & a new version may not solve your problems. The best thing would be to figure it out now before the new version. So flashing this rom from scratch is a good thing cause you can see if it is the rom or not. I'd say it isn't, but that's just me cause mine has never rebooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
pretty sure you're right cause unless i'd screwed something up on 1.0.0, 1.0.1, never had any issues with automatic reboots that didn't involve wireless tether... (even then was rare, and seemed to be heat related)... this one, i enjoyed not having to restore anything, but it comes with its inherent risks as far as data/settings go and everyone's gonna have their own specific problem if it arises, i'm sure there might be some common cases...

Sorry to hear about the others having problems, but I've been running for over three weeks on 1.2 and have yet to have any reboots or FC's.

Some where you have some bad data, a bad app, or installed something that doesn't agree with your phone.

Hope you figure it out!

[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
The lowest screen brightness setting is still too bright at night, do you think you can modify it so the screen brightness is dimmable even lower?

I know theres an app called screen filter than lets you toggle screen brightness even lower, but it would be better if it was baked in the rom without having to toggle screen filter with a 3rd party app.

Just throwing out that suggestion, I really don't know how hard it is to acomplish, but maybe its easy enough to be included in your future ROMS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
I'm having an issue with recording video... it keeps saying recording failed. Is this possibly an issue of data corruption from improper shut down? In the past week I've had one random reboot and one app crash that locked up my phone and required a three button reboot, but I haven't seen any issues from that anywhere else. If it was corruption, do I need to wipe anything first or just reflash?

And I don't know if I said this last time I posted, but awesome work guys! My wife is almost ready to try rooting her phone for this, and I'll be setting it up on my mom's phone too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
All these questions and no Impaler :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Why couldn't you do what others probably do as do I. If it is to bright at night, just take 2 sec & go to the brightness setting & slide your finger down the brightness slider. Problem solved. :)

Ok sorry....you said the lowest is still too bright. Hmmm.... I'm sure most think its fine, & I myself have never even gone that low on brightness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
He said he has it set to the lowest....

he wants it to go lower than that without having to use an app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Caught that after the post. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Yep, it's mostly the whites displayed that are too bright at night. Like when going to google before bed. I'm sure others might agree that they wouldn't mind the lowest brightness setting to be dimmable just a little more. I mean, it wouldn't hurt for sure.

When you think about it, the biggest battery monger is 'Display'. It would also save our batteries a TON more juice when you can dim the display to a lower setting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Absolutely.

What would be the best would be if there was an app that we could use to adjust those settings. Like a slider with "screen off" on the left and "full brightness" on the right. Slide the left toggle where you want the min to be, the right toggle where you want the max to be.

On a separate note, I am also getting "recording failed" whenever I try using the video camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcowboys2184:
I think theres a app in the market that dims the screen I forgot what it called
[Epic 4G Android Development] bertm13:
Can you still take pictures and do they show up correctly on your sd card? If not, it could be a corrupt card. Otherwise, try clearing data/cache from the camera app and restarting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Correct. I mentioned it on my other post, its called screenfilter, but you have to toggle the app on and off, and its active as a background running service. As stated earlier, I've seen it on older roms for DL18, it would be a nice baked in feature to add in future roms IMO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
I just posted about this issue a little while go too. Try clearing camera application data, that seems to have fixed it for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
On a few points:

As stated above camera/camcorder clear out cache/card and should be fine.

I want to post updates to all the issues I've had since flashing.

I keep going back to a "known good" configuration but since that version besides checking a few emails in Gmail, Playing NFS Shift, Pandora Radio, and having Juice defender on, it was working fine. I played NFS Shift for several hours, laid down put Pandora Radio on, when I got up I paused pandora radio, about 15 minutes later I turn on my phone and notice that it is really jumpy and non-responsive. I try to go to the power menu (holding down the power button) nothing pops up but the haptic feedback does the same thing a FC does and after a minutes the phone reboots and the menu wouldn't come back. I was able to restore JUST the system directory that was working fine and the menu came back on the next boot, I changed the battery icon using the built in thing to DK28 Original with percentage and after it auto rebooted the menu wouldn't work anymore.

I then flashed fully back to my "known good" configuration but before I did that I wiped the /system /data, /cache, etc 3 times to be sure and then restored the full backup and not just the /system

I then used the battery mod and tried changing to DK28 Original with percentage and it did the same thing so it seems that won't work properly with this at least on my phone.

I guess I can only restore the icon mods that are under the Syndicate and not under Epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
Thanks for the quick reply K0nane I just didn't realize it. I wanted an icon that looked like the original with percentages.

And a suggestion for the next release is the icon that shows the battery icon with either a USB charge or wall plug charge icon AND battery percentage. Or different to indicate charging or something like that. I just know that most of those (except for the fuel gauge) show charging icon but not percentage when plugged in and yes there are other ways to view actual percentage but I like being able to just glance and know what percentage it is at while charging and the fuel gauge icon one was too small when showing the percentage in my opinion.

EDIT: K0nane I mean this in a heterosexual way... I want to have your babies. :D Thanks :) Oh and if you need testers and feedback for the upcoming updates feel free to hit me up :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
disregard this post. sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
i did the gauge batt mod under the syndicate menu. after i hit "apply", it requested a reboot, but when i came back i had constant fc's of the google apps and text entry (both swype and gingerbread). i just figured it was a "no-journaling" reboot issue. reflash took care of it... can't wait nor journaling enabled sfr :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Screen filter app blows. Essentially it does dim the screen but not in a power saving way cuz it is a running service. It actually uses more battery cuz its filtering every image. It would be nice if a dev could look into this and make our lowest brightness setting be lower than what it is. Id say it should be 10% lower than what it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The kernel team is actively looking at brightness fixes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Great!

I didn't know that it would fall under a kernel fix though. Looking forward to SFR 1.1.0!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
That's awesome. If I may make another small suggestions as far as lighting is it possible to keep capacative lights on even with keyboard open and to re illuminate keyboard when screen wakes with keyboard open.

Edit; for some reason it sent before I typed anything. To be a lil clearer the capacative lights be completely tied to screen off.

Remember we were talking about the emotionless beast theme, well I went ahead and put it on my phone that night and all was good..but the next day my battery drained way faster.. I tried a few things..I reflashed theme, then reflashed rom.. at one point had a few fc's even though my phone never shut off improperly but those have stopped. Still had bad battery though yesterday and reflashed this rom again, but it still seems to be draining way faster. Its easy to compare b/cause before I was at least on par with my husband's epic and now my battery is draining at least double the speed of his. I don't really know what else to do. I did clear batt stats.. I downloaded spare parts but don't know what any of that means so it didn't help me...
